The Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) is a list of projects and programs scheduled to be implemented over a period of at least four years. Transportation projects must be included in the TIP to receive most types of federal funding. The TIP provides a mechanism for locally-elected officials and agency staff to review the region's capital programming. It represents a consensus among MPO members and other major transportation interests in the region as to what improvements should have priority for available funds.

Once a four-year TIP is adopted by the SJTPO Policy Board, approved by the Governor, and the State TIP is approval by the federal government, there are certain procedures established for making any changes to the TIP. These procedures are outlined in a joint Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between the DVRPC, NJTPA, SJTPO, NJ Transit and NJDOT.

New Jersey's three MPOs, NJDOT, and NJ Transit have also agreed to exchange sub-allocated STP-SJ funds for state Transportation Trust Funds (TTF) for portions of each MPO's respective capital program. Click here for the current "TTF Swap" MOU.

The FY 2014-2023 electronic Statewide Transportation Improvement Program (e-STIP) is an application that provides current information contained in the Statewide Transportation Improvement Program for the State of New Jersey for federal fiscal years 2014 through 2023 as the program is modified and amended. The e-STIP reflects all adopted modifications and amendments to the FY 2014-2023 STIP. Thus, e-STIP is an update of the FY 2014-2023 STIP that was approved on November 20, 2013 by the Federal Highway Administration and the Federal Transit Administration.
